Vet seems to think it will work giving her a quarter each day.

Denise - she'll be getting Dreamies ever day from my friend while I'm in Italy - she really look after Bonnie while I'm away. Joyce only works mornings so she comes down to see her before work and in the afternoon and evening comes and plays with her and feeds her etc. She loves her Auntie Joyce. Think I might have to buy some fish for her when I take her to the vet

Hope the change of dosage does the trick for her

Sorry to hear Bonnie BP is High again , Hope the tablets work

And I'm sure she will forgive you but to be sure I think a pack of dreamies should do the trick

Big Hugz to Bonnie bum

Ah to be sure she will, but she will make you sweat for it

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #188 on:** March 16, 2012, 01:17:09 AM »

I am sure that Bonnie will still be your friend

maryas · « **Reply #187 on:** March 16, 2012, 00:38:41 AM »

Took Bonnie for her BP check up today and it's high again so the vet has changed her to 1/4 of a tablet every day instead of every other day and I take her back in 2 months.

She's as fit as a fiddle in herself so let's hope this works.

OMG no, in 2 months time, that means I will just have got back from Italy and then taking her to the vet - she's not going to be my friend

She's fine thanks Dawn, She goes for her BP check again in Feb tomake sure meds are working. I am sure they are cos she is lively and eating and keeping me awake at night etc. the little darling

Not been on for a bit cos I had a small dose of flu but ok now. Ta chuck.

is everything ok with bonnie now mary, i noticed you've been missing for a bit?

maryas · « **Reply #184 on:** December 06, 2011, 23:55:22 PM »

Don't worry Gill, I will. I always give my friend the vet's number when I go away and she looks after Bonnie so I don't have to worry next week when I'm in prague.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #183 on:** December 06, 2011, 23:46:37 PM »

As long as her eye is better and BP doesnt drop anymore, she should be fine but remember, any sign of something wrong get her straight back there

maryas · « **Reply #182 on:** December 06, 2011, 23:02:17 PM »

When he first told me she had high BP I said "how the hell can she have high BP when all she does is play, eat, sleep and eat Dreamies all day?" He laughed his head off at me.

Thank Sam

So pleased to hear Her Majesty is doing well. It always amazes me to hear of any cat with high blood pressure considering the amount of sleeping they do .... not exactly a stressful life is it!

Hopefully now your vet has her meds sorted she will soon be back to normal.

maryas · « **Reply #180 on:** December 06, 2011, 22:45:56 PM »

Well, is my little Bonnie Bum awkward or what?

Took her for her blood Pressure taking today and it's no longer too high, it's too chuffing low

But he's not too worried - I have to give her a 1/4 of a tablet every 2 days now instead of every day and take her back in 2 months.

Gillian that's great news about Harry. What was his BP? Bonnie's was 120.

I took these photos of her the other day - 3 attempts to get a pic of her eye

Harry's was 210 I think

Great pics by the way

maryas · « **Reply #177 on:** November 25, 2011, 21:04:04 PM »

Clare - no probs chuck, I know you've been busy with the Zumba and knew you would've posted if you had time.

Sly - Bonnie said thank you and said you are very brave sneaking on human bit

Sue and Sly - it was very funny trying to get a decent pic - it was all done on my bed

She was going to go on your bit of Purrs to let you all know but I have my mum here at the moment - she had a fall and I'm making sure she's ok before I take her back home, so neither Bonnie or I have been on here a lot in last 2 days.

Thanks everyone :hug:Mary and Bonnie Bum

Hello Mary darling, sorry I've not been on for ages and missed all this!!!

Glad Bonniebum is doing better, and very glad the vets did a blood pressure test, would have been the first thing I'd have suggested if I'd seen this sooner! With Maxy he had a couple of burst blood vessels but his pressure was never checked, really wish I'd known!!! The blood bit can take ages and ages to fade by the way, so don't panic!!

Lots of love to you both xxx

Ah yes, Mary - Most of my pics of MacSquee end up like that

But, you can see in the bottom pic her eye is looking much more like normal.

Glad Bonnie's eye is improving

i'll be interested to hear about her blood pressure when she has it tested again, Harry's been on BP tabs for about 10 days now (and no fits for 2 weeks thank goodness ).

maryas · « **Reply #171 on:** November 19, 2011, 00:06:33 AM »

Thanks everyone - I am certain that all your best wishes and hugs and cuddles etc. have helped her too - they've certainly helped me through it.

It's her birthday and adoption day on 15th December so I hope she is fully recovered for then, mind you I will be in Prague 14th - 16th so will have to celebrate with her when I get back. Her Auntie Joyce (my mate) will be looking after her so she will make sure she gets extra Dreamies for her 14th birthday and her 4th Adoption Day.

Extremely well thanks. i take her back to the vet in a few weeks to see if her BP has gone down and if the tablets are working then she wwill be on them for the rest of her life.

I thik they are working cos her eye looks so different now, it's what I call very diluted looking blood at the bottom of her eye. She's not in any pain and she's jumping all over me in bed and last night she even tried sleeping on my back instead of cuddling in to the side of me. She's coming downstairs more and sitting in front of the fire and on the settee. She's meeting me at the door and meowing when her plate is empty or meowing at the door when she wants me to go out and get her some grass - looking a bit bad now so I've bought some cat grass for her.

I would say she's 99% back to being my little Bonnie Bum

How is Bonnie doing Mary?

maryas · « **Reply #161 on:** November 09, 2011, 00:22:16 AM »

Cheers everyone

Like the idea of weebox and love your tale Tab

Rosella - The vet told me that if I give her one that's a bit big one day, to give her a smaller one the day after.

Bonnie's just loving all these extra cuddles from you all.

Mary and Bonnie Bum xx

Little crack factory!!

Give her a wonderful cuggle from me

tab · « **Reply #159 on:** November 08, 2011, 16:53:32 PM »

I used to get webbox sticks and break a bit off and squish it in my fingers until soft then wrap it around the tablet. That could have been why if Mogs for some reason didnt want to jump onto the chair for me Amber used to herd her so she could have a tabletless treat

love

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #158 on:** November 08, 2011, 15:18:09 PM »

Cutting pills usually means the pieces can be (often are) different sizes so best to only cut up one pill at a time to try and ensure as even a dose as possible

So very very pleased that the reason for Bonnie's illness has been discovered

but sad to hear that this condition is often missed.

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #157 on:** November 08, 2011, 15:00:58 PM »

Im just imagining cats sprawled out now with tell tale white powder under their nostrils

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #156 on:** November 08, 2011, 14:38:05 PM »

Its amazing how much more pill there is when they are crushed

maryas · « **Reply #155 on:** November 08, 2011, 12:26:52 PM »

All this talk of drugs - Tan is gonna be banning the lot of us

She took her 1st one ok in her food yesterday and today but if I need to I will crush them.

I was wondering about a carpet knife but then again I might cut my fingers off

If the tablets go in food, you can grind them up in that old pestle and mortar you've been looking at for 20 years, then make a "line" - pretend like you're in the movies and cutting a bit of "Charlie"

Exactly what I used to do with Sam's BP tabs, after too many times of pinging bits of pill around the kitchen when trying to cut them lol!

tab · « **Reply #153 on:** November 08, 2011, 11:01:03 AM »

Mogs was 1/4 Istin tablet for years so I used a pill cutter. Rather fiddly though but she was great about taking them as they obviously made her feel better. In fact we got to the point where when she needed her blood pressure checking the vet used to ask if they could 'borrow' her for new people to practise on as she just sat down and stuck a leg out for them

I hope Bonnie is feeling loads better soon
love
